"This is how we will deal with Wanyan Department's affairs for the time being! Didn't Ma Renyu have three things to report? What is the third thing? Let's talk about it together!" Emperor Liu looked at Cao Bin again, his tone a little more serious.
, seems to have some psychological fluctuations.
This made the Han Dynasty ministers present here unavoidably surprised. Why was it just Wanyan Jurchen? Of course, it was best not to make random guesses about the emperor's thoughts, and even if he had any guesses, he should not reveal them.
Cao Bin's expression was as usual, and he still reported in a serious manner: "Ma Renyu reported that the Northeast is currently in chaos, and various tribal forces are competing. If we want to maintain peace in Liaodong, we still need Wang Shi's action. He hopes that the imperial court will agree to continue to advance troops, and the barbarians will
Those who refuse to submit will be defeated, those who seek peace will not surrender, and we will completely eliminate the chaos in the Northeast!"
"It seems that our General Ma is still full of fighting spirit! Outside Huanglong Mansion is where his troops are heading. It is conceivable how he can be willing to hand over Huanglong Mansion to the Jurchens. This is the responsibility of the frontline soldiers.
Attitude!" Emperor Liu's expression changed again, as if the composure just now no longer existed, he sighed with a smile, and did not forget to glance at Wang Pu.
Wang Pu felt this gaze, and his old face twitched slightly. Obviously, this was also Emperor Liu's true attitude. It seemed that his thoughts were still contrary to the emperor's. Even if it was for the sake of His Majesty's face, he had misunderstood the holy intention.
I just don't know if it will make Emperor Liu have any other opinions about him. Wang Pu's face is calm, but his heart can't help but beat violently.
Emperor Liu didn't think much about Ma Renyu's request. He looked at Cao Bin and directly expressed his position: "Reply to Ma Renyu, if you go deep into the Northeast, you need to be cautious. Continue to advance troops. Put it aside for the time being. Huanglong Mansion will attack."
After more than two months, the soldiers also worked hard, allowing them to rest and recuperate, and temporarily ensure the security and cleanup of Huanglong Mansion and its surrounding areas.
The tribes in the Northeast are left to chaos, and as long as they do not offend the Han Dynasty, they will be ignored for the time being. Regarding matters in the Northeast, the imperial court will have policies, and the military and administration in Liaodong should only act in accordance with the central will of the imperial court.
Tell Ma Renyu that he is now in charge of the military affairs of Liaodong and even the entire Northeast. The stability of Liaodong is his first consideration. The imperial court has paid a huge price to capture Liaodong, and the next step will be to restore and develop it. He wants to contribute to Liaodong.
The Chief Envoy Si Zhizheng will escort you!"
"Yes!" Cao Bin responded.
Emperor Liu ordered Pan Mei again: "The merits of the soldiers in this battle must be verified as soon as possible, and then let the Financial Secretary reward them as quickly as possible!"
Emperor Liu was very satisfied with the outcome of the Battle of Huanglong Mansion. He was naturally generous to meritorious officials and things that pleased the military morale. Of course, all along, except when the country was in difficulty in the early Qianyu period, Emperor Liu had always been generous in this regard.
Never be stingy.
In the meeting room, the imperial meal was ready. With Emperor Liu nodding, the servants quickly and cautiously placed the cooked food on the table. The originally serious atmosphere in the Chui Gong Hall was soon replaced by the fragrance of the food.
It was broken, and the overflowing aroma of wine began to fill the air.
"This wine is to congratulate the Liaodong victory, and also to wish the great Han Dynasty greater prosperity. Sirs, please!" Emperor Liu held the wine glass in front of his chest and looked around, with domineering eyes and confidence in his tone.
"Your Majesty, please!"
Fine wine and delicacies always make people feel happy. As the top officials of the Han Dynasty, they also have such enjoyment. However, being able to sit at the same table with Emperor Liu often proves that they are still trusted by the emperor and are still at the center of power in the court.
,this point is very important.
"Zhao Qing, then Xiao Siwen has come to Beijing!" Emperor Liu buried his head in the case and asked casually as he slowly picked out the thorn from a piece of fish.
After hearing the question, Zhao Pu put down his chopsticks, looked at Emperor Liu, curled his lips slightly, and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, Xiao Siwen and his party arrived in Beijing ten days ago and are currently staying in the Concierge Courtyard. This person is here to bring a family
When he came, he was accompanied by not only bodyguards but also a large amount of personal property, and his children were all with him.
In addition, it was discovered that the Liao Lord sent envoys to escort him, but before entering the country, they all disappeared and were replaced by Xiao's troops. It can be guessed that the Liao Lord's people were all harmed on the way!"
"Haha! This is interesting!" Emperor Liu chuckled twice, his expression became interesting, and he joked: "It seems that all the Liao ministers and Khitan nobles are planning to settle down in the Han Dynasty!"
"It is said that while Xiao Siwen was in Beijing, he indeed sent his family members to search for a house in Xijingfang, and he did not hide his behavior!" Zhao Pu also smiled.
"Oh?" Emperor Liu raised his eyebrows slightly and became more and more interested: "Xiao Siwen seems to be expressing his feelings to the court!"
"I also thought about it for a while and thought that Xiao Siwen had the intention to surrender to the Han!" Zhao Pu said.
"This is a good thing!" Emperor Liu looked at Zhao Pu and said with a smile: "If this is true, then our court should give a big welcome. It is not easy for such distinguished guests to come. They are distant guests and are not familiar with Beijing.
The staff of the Concierge House should help you!"
"The minister will convey the instructions to the Concierge Court!" Zhao Pu nodded, and then said with some playfulness in his tone: "However, I had a discussion with the prince, His Highness the King of Qin, and Xiao Siwen, but this person did not express his intention to surrender.
I just want to discuss the peace between Han and Liao!"
"How was the discussion?" Emperor Liu asked.
Zhao Pu: "Xiao Siwen presented the intention of the Lord of Liao on behalf of the two countries to stop fighting and reconcile. The Liao State proposed that the two countries should use the land currently occupied by both sides as the boundary and not invade each other. The Liao State was willing to provide horses to the Han every year.
Two thousand horses, five thousand cattle, and ten thousand sheep. At the same time, the territory will be opened for Han merchants and travelers to come and go without any restrictions!"
"Haha!" Emperor Liu commented: "I have to say that Yelvxian is a sensible person and very wise. He recognizes the reality clearly. His conditions are clear and direct. He has no excessive expectations or demands. Although the tribute is not large, it fully shows his sincerity!"
"If your majesty can show you some grace, even if you pay a higher price, the Lord of Liao will agree!" Zhao Pu said.
"Given the current situation of the Liao Kingdom, even if I am merciful and open-minded and agree to the peace negotiation, can he provide the above-mentioned cattle, sheep and horses?" Emperor Liu said with a sigh on his face: "Is this still the original Khitan of the Liao Dynasty?
?Can you do this with such a small skill?"
"If there were no big Han forces to force them from the outside, the Lord of Liao could focus on counterinsurgency and security internally. Compared with this, other things would be insignificant. The Khitan has fallen into its current situation and is in danger, so how can it care about a little bit?
Regarding the issue of face, judging from the decision of the Lord of Liao to send envoys to the south, he has already decided to bow to the imperial court!" Zhao Pu said.
"What a pity!" Emperor Liu shook his head and said: "I still understand the principle of killing a snake but suffering from it. Khitan Yu lowered his head and lurked, but I don't want to give him this chance!"
In a simple sentence, Emperor Liu's attitude towards the peace negotiation was clearly shown, that is, he would not accept this goodwill. In fact, the Liao Kingdom today has lost the qualification to sit at the same negotiating table with the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Liu offered to welcome him for discussion only because of his past status.
However, no matter how much the Liao Kingdom tried to endure the humiliation and flattery, Emperor Liu's determination to beat the drowned dog could not be shaken. He put the fish meat with the bones in his mouth and chewed it slowly. Emperor Liu gave instructions on the spot: "Talk? It's nothing."
It's easy to talk about, but in comparison, Xiao Siwen is more interesting to me.
The Han Dynasty's policy towards the Liao Kingdom will not change, and the various policies and actions of the various frontiers towards the grassland must remain as they are. They must not be relaxed, but must be strengthened! I will wait and see when the Liao Kingdom completely collapses. At that time, maybe I can still help the Khitan people.
A chance to survive."
"Yes!" Sensing Emperor Liu's strong will, Zhao Pu responded immediately.
None of the ministers present were surprised by this, and no one raised any objections, not even Wang Pu, who was gradually becoming more conservative. At least the current posture maintained by the big man was still within the tolerance range. As long as he did not go to war, he would not
Will oppose Emperor Liu's policy opinions, the Han Dynasty has too much room for maneuver.
"Xiao Siwen is probably waiting for me to return to Beijing before he is willing to fully reveal his feelings! I will give him this opportunity and arrange for him to enter the palace tomorrow. I want to meet him and see what he has to say!" Emperor Liu said again.
